Chapter 50: The Decision Between Good or Bad

Quin's POV

"So, how's your relationship with our son?" Tanong ni Mrs. Liona sa akin, kaya tumigil na ako sa kinakain ko.

Ngumiti ako at saka tumingin ng diretso sa mata ni Mrs. Liona, subalit bigla naman akong natigilan nang mapansin kong parang biglang nag-iba na yung aura nilang pareho ni Mr. Louis.

Parang biglang naging cold din yung tingin nila sa akin. Pero hindi ko na lang ito pinansin dahil naisip ko na baka mali lang ako ng akala.

"It was good! We're happy of what we have now..." Sagot ko. "Do you love him?" Tanong naman ni Mr. Louis sa akin.

Ngumiti ako, "of course, I do, sir! I love him more than anyone else in–" "then what urge you to love him? Is it because of money?" Putol niya sa akin. Napakunot naman yung noo ko bigla.

H-Huh?!

"P-Po?" Bakit bigla nila iyan naisip sa akin? "Dahil ba sa pera, kaya mo siya minahal? Are you only loving him just because you need him? Do you only use him for money?"

W-What?! Why would I do that?!

Aktong magsasalita pa sana ako, subalit bigla na lang nagsalita pati si Mrs. Liona. "Look, dear, if your problem is just the money, we can give you that. We can also pay your full tuition fee at school if you're still a student. We're also going to support your full lifetime finances. Just–"

Hindi ko na kinaya yung mga sinasabi nila sa akin. Hindi naman dahil sa pera kaya ko minahal si Brylle. And never in my life I had a thoughts like that.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, ma'am, sir. Pero mali ang lahat ng mga iniisip niyo para sa akin. Never akong nag-isip ng ganiyan at never din pong sumagi iyan sa utak ko po. And I don't need anybody's money or help, dahil gusto ko pong paghirapan ang isang bagay para makuha ito. And isa pa po, I loved Brylle of who he is. I didn't loved him for what he have or because I can get something from him... I love him with all of my heart, and I think no one can take that from me." Sabi ko.

"Oh?" Napansin kong biglang napataas yung isang kilay ni Mrs. Liona nang marinig ito. "Are you sure about that? Do you think that he loved you as you loved him? Do you think that no one can separate you from each other? Do you think that your love for each other will be eternal?"

Saglit akong natigilan. What is this questions all about for? I understand that they're his parents, and as a parents, they have to ensure for his future and to the person he's going to be with forever. But why do I feel like there's something's wrong?

"I always think like that, Mrs. Liona. And nakakasiguro din po ako doon dahil malakas po ang pakiramdam ko na ganun po ang nararamdaman namin ni Brylle para sa isa't isa. And I knew that Brylle thinks the same way as me. I also knew that no one can separate us from each other because we have a strong bond relationship. We also trust each other, and trust strengthens the relationship." Sagot ko naman.

"Wow... That's a very interesting answer, my dear! But... If you truly love my son, lagi mong pipiliin ang makakapagpasaya at makakabuti para sa kaniya, hindi ba?" Tanong pa ni Mrs. Liona.

Ngumiti naman ako, "yes, Mrs. Liona. Ganun naman po talaga dapat ang ginagawa ng mga nasa relationship. Pero dapat balanse pa din, kasi dapat give and take. Hindi pwedeng yung isa lang yung gumagawa nun tapos yung isa naman ay wala lang." Sagot ko.

"Oh? So if I tell you to..." Naputol sa pagsasalita si Mrs. Liona nang bigla kaming may narinig na familiar na boses na nanggaling sa likod ko.

"Quin?"
